NAME
umoci stat - Display status information about an image tag

SYNOPSIS
umoci stat --image=image[:tag] [--json]

DESCRIPTION
Generates various pieces of status information about an image tag, including the history of the image.

WARNING: Do not depend on the output of this tool. Previously we recommended the use of --json as the "stable" interface but this interface will be reworked in future.

OPTIONS
The global options are defined in umoci(1).

--image=image[:tag]
  The OCI image tag to display information about. image must be a path to a
  valid OCI image and tag must be a valid tag in the image. If tag is not
  provided it defaults to "latest".

--json
  Output the status information as a JSON encoded blob.

FORMAT
The format of the --json blob is as follows. Many of these fields come from the OCI image specification ⟨https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec⟩.

    {
      # This is the manifest blob of the image.
      "manifest": {
        "descriptor": <descriptor of manifest blob>,
        "blob": <raw manifest blob>
      },

      # This is the configuration blob of the image.
      "config": {
        "descriptor": <descriptor of config blob>,
        "blob": <raw config blob>
      },

      # This is the set of history entries for the image.
      "history": [
        {
          "layer":       <descriptor>, # null if empty_layer is true
          "diff_id":     <diffid>,
          "created":     <created>,
          "created_by":  <created_by>,
          "author":      <author>,
          "empty_layer": <empty_layer>
        }...
      ]
    }

In future versions of umoci(1) there may be extra fields added to the above structure. However, the currently defined fields will always be set (until a backwards-incompatible release is made).

EXAMPLE
The following gets information about an image downloaded from a docker(1) registry using skopeo(1).

    % skopeo copy docker://registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/tumbleweed:latest oci:image:latest
    % umoci stat --image image
